Yes! I live in northeast Georgia and was given a strawberry-vanilla hydrangea for Mother’s day in 2011. The first year I got a few white flowers that immediately turned brown. I gave it another year and the same results. More white flowers that have already turned brown. I have been terribly disappointed. I will give it one more chance by moving it this fall to the north, shady side of my house. $30.00 is a lot to pay for a plant that did not perform.

S42, My Vanilla Strawberry has done a bit better this year. I planted it about 4 years ago. It is only about 5 inches taller and I can really grow hydrangeas. I know what I’m doing. But this 4th year it is doing better but we’ve had tons of rain. I still do not see the vibrant colors it’s supposed to have.And…it’s the slowest growing hydrangea on earth.
